Nokia Reaffirms Commitment to Symbian

In response to a report in the German edition of the Financial Times, which stated that Nokia was prepared to ditch Symbian and move forward with Maemo-based mobile devices, Nokia has said that it has no such plans. In a statement, Nokia declared, "We remain strongly committed to our current open OS software strategy for cellular devices, which is based on the world-leading Symbian OS." Nokia's S60 operating platform is based on Symbian. Nokia's Maemo operating platform is based on Linux, and is used by its Internet tablet.
